Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed December 13, 1912.

Patented Dec. 30, 1913. serial No. 736,594.

To all whom t may concern Be it known that I, LEO GESCHIGKTER, a subject of the Czar of Russia, residing at Washington, District of Columbia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Mothproof Rug-Bags; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in moth-proof bags or receptacles for holding rugs, etc., and the object in view is to produce a simple and eticient device of this nature, consisting essentially of two bags, the open ends of which are adapted to telescope one within the other and in the provision of means for making a tight joint intermediate the telescoping parts.

The invention consists further in the provision of two telescoping members at the free ends of which are mounted tapering rings, forming means whereby the telescoping ends of the members may be held so as to cause a tight'joint and in the provision of means for conveniently detaching the ends and reducing the device to a compact form when not in use.

The invention consists further of various details of construction and combinations and arrangements of parts which will be hereinafter fully described, shown in the accompanying drawings and then specifically dened in the appended claim. n

I illustrate my invention in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of my mothk bag or receptacle. Fig. 2 is a central longitudinal section through the same, and Fig. 3 is an enlarged detail view.

Reference now being had to the details of` wardly and which may the drawings by letter, A and B designate two bags or receptacles which are made, preferably, of canvas or any other suitable fabric and the meeting end of each bag is a Hap C which is adapted to fold back upon the circumference of the bag, as shown in the drawings, and held in such relation through the medium of any suitable fastening means, such as a glove fastening lug and socket device. Metallic rings E and F, preferably tapering slightly, are fastened one to each end of the bag by means of tiaps as shown. It will be noted upon reference to the sectional view of the drawings that the wall of the outer bag, about the circumference of which the ring E passes, flares outbe produced by stretching the bag in any suitable manner, the object of this construction being to make smooth surfaces upon the two when they telescope each other. The bag B has the wall thereof adjacent to its free end slightly contracted and engaged circumferentially by the ring F, the flap of the bag B being passed about the circumference of the ring F and held by the usual glove fastening device. A strap H is fastened at I-I to the bag A and its free end is engaged by a buckle K which is fastened to the bag B, forming means whereby the two bags may be held together and also adording a handle whereby the rug receptacle may be conveniently carried, if desired.

By the provision of a device embodying the features of my invention, it will be noted that a simpleandetticient receptacle is afforded whereby a practically hermetically sealed joint is effected which will be moth and water proof and so constructed that the rings may be easily and quickly removed and nested together when desired to reduce the same to a compact form for storage or shipment.

What I claim to be new is A moth-proof receptacle for rugs comprising two bags, the free open end of one bag iiaring and the open end of the other bag straps for holding the rings in teleseoped contracted, the adjacent open ends of the position, as set forth. 10 bags adapted to be folded back upon the Intestirnony whereof I hereunto aiiiX iny body portions thereof, tapering rings sursignature in the presence of two Witnesses.

" rounding each bag and held by portions of LEO GESCHICKTER.

the bags, means for fastening said ends to Vitnesses: the bags said rings surrounded by portions A. L. HOUGH, of the bags telescoping each other, and FRANKLIN H. HOUGH.
